Prepare ingredients: cinnamon, cardamom, eggs, flour, and baking powder.

Measure 2 cups of all-purpose flour into a bowl.

Add 1/2 cup of sugar to the flour.

Sift in 1 1/2 tablespoons of baking powder.

Add ground cinnamon and cardamom (optional) and mix dry ingredients together.

In a separate bowl, mix 2 eggs and add a little vanilla essence (optional).

Combine the egg mixture with the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the dough and mix again.

Add a pinch of salt to the dough and mix well.

Knead the dough until it is hard, not soft like mandazi or chapati.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.

Prepare the frying pan by adding oil; ensure the oil is not too hot or too cold, but at a moderate temperature.

Roll the dough and cut it into small pieces.

Fry the small pieces in the prepared oil, ensuring they stay at the bottom before they float.

Flip the pieces side to side while frying until they are done.
